∗ The values lower than 100% mean the nonextracted amount of pesticide from standard solid phase extraction cartridge. Values are mean of three replicates and are given as mean ± standard error. Different letters in the same column indicate significant differences according to Student-Newman-Keuls (SNK) test (P≤0.05).
